I just came back from the Venice boardwalk where I was manning the Dean tent. Lots of strange people in Venice... had a few people come up to learn more about Dean, while others come to talk about how much they disliked Bush. Got at least one person to sign up for Dean information, which is pretty good, considering how light traffic was... this afternoon should be pretty good. It's a beautiful day.

The fundraising this weekend to beat Cheney is going very well: "As of 2pm ET, supporters have raised $130,572.50 online in the Dean Team vs. Bush-Cheney Challenge, with 2,319." That's just $56.31 per person! Compare that to the $2000 per person Cheney will raise in SC. We're halfway to the Monday midnight goal, which is great. The number of contributers have tripled since last night, and the total has more than doubled in value. Now money isn't everything, of course, but this shows the kind of widespread support this campaign has. With the money, the campaign will be able to open offices in more cities and get in touch with people who aren't connecting via the websites.

I'm going to hold off on my contribution until Monday, when they'll update the numbers every half hour.
